Note: Noo Atsiaq was born in Iqaluit. He began to carve when he was about 10 years old, learning from his father, grandfather and others in the community. Noo later moved to Cape Dorset to focus on his carving, where he worked with artist Nuna Parr, helping him to file and sand his bears. Bears, particularly dancing bears, were a favourite subject for Noo Atsiaq.
